ArcGIS Runtime .NET 100.9 - Poor navigation performance in fullscreen

BorjaParés_Fuente — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:23:40 GMT

I am working with .NET SDK v100.9 on a project. There is a visualization performance drop on a basic application when app enters fullscreen. The app loads, as a basemap, only a url from ArcGIS Server 10.7.1. The url loaded is a WMTS that has been cached with this levels: 4M, 2M, 1M, 500K, 250K, 100K, 64K, 32K, 16K, 8K, 4K, 2K and 1K.

Navigation performance in fullscreen (resolution 3840x2160) starts to be very poor, performing fast mouse wheel moves (zoomin/zooout). The performace is good if only Pan is doing.

If I resize the app window decreasing it, the navigation performance seems to be better as the window size is getting smaller.

I tried creating several services with different tile sizes from 128x128 to 1024x1024. 256x256 seems to be the better option.

During the navigation in fullscreen ArcGIS Server machine memory and cpu are quite low. Application process in the windows client machine reaches 25% of CPU, when the tiles are not rendering properly fast.

Are there any tunings I can make to adjust the performance?

Could you describe what you mean by performance? Is it low framerate, high CPU load, high GPU load, time for layers to load / data to download etc?

Also make sure the debugger isn't attached, as that is known that Visual Studio creates a significant performance issue while being attached to the app.

Hi Morten,

Thank you for your response.

I mean low framerate. During moving the mouse wheel to zoomin/out rapidly, some frames of the app keep freeze/distorted and are not rendered fine until 3 or 4 seconds. Screenshot attached.

I deploy the application with the Realease configuration mode active in Visual Studio.

Hi again,

Also, I've noticed that when some of the tiles are stuck, the garbage collector has been launched several times in a very short period of time.

And at the same time, this messages in the ouput console

Exception thrown: 'System.ObjectDisposedException' in System.dll
Exception thrown: 'System.ObjectDisposedException' in System.dll

Hi,

From the debug menu please can you try Start Without Debugging (or press Ctrl + F5)?

Thanks

Thanks for your response Michael. Yes I've tested that way, also executing the bin\Release\App.exe with Visual Studio closed.

I've founded a similar post but It seems that in 100.9 the performance problem persists.

ArcGIS Runtime 100.4 draws basemap really slow when zooming with the mouse wheel

Also, I tried to configure GC without any success.

GC.TryStartNoGCRegion(2097152, true)

App.config

Best Regards.

Hi,

Are you seeing poor performance with the WmtsLayer (`URL_WMTS`) or the ArcGISTiledLayer (`URL_REST`).

If it is the WmtsLayer, please can you share as much of the URL as possible - with some servers such as GeoServer, you may not be pulling from the cache depending on your URL pattern.

Thanks

Mike

Hi,

I'm using WmtsLayer from an ArcGIS Server 10.7.1. With ArcGISTiledLayer (REST) the performance is not as bad as with wmts.

As I cannot make public muy server, I attach the xml capabilities from the service. Also, more screenshots with wondows task window.

WMTS

REST

Hi,

One suggestion you could try... ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET uses a default value of 6 for the maximum number of concurrent http connections *or* it will honor the value set by the application code. You can try increasing the value to find the appropriate level for you scenario. For reference, web browsers have varying limits but most appear to use a maximum of 6 connections per server/host and 10-20 maximum connections overall.

The value can be set via the DefaultConnectionLimit property on the static ServicePointManager class in the System.Net namespace (ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit Property (System.Net) | Microsoft Docs).

For example:
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 10;

*Note* this call must be made before any underlying connections are created therefore implement this in application initialization logic such as App.Xaml.cs.

Thanks

Hello,

One more thing to try could be to set the PreferredImageFormat on the WMTSLayer and request tiles in either JPG/JPEG or PNG. Here is some information about the different TileFormats and How to create a cached image service in ArcGIS Enterprise. Maybe this will help with the performance.

Cheers,

Adi

Hi Michael,

I have configured that parameter but it seems nothing get better, the feeling is that tiles continue getting stucked, . I attach a video that shows this bad user experience.

Thank you for the video. That's helpful to understand the problem. It appears this isn't a "poor navigation performance" issue, as the framerate and navigation stays responsive. The issue appears to be that data is slow to download and display, but while tiles aren't loaded the map control stays responsive wrt panning and zooming, correct?

So this is more likely a networking issue - that either your network or your server is not able to deliver tiles to the app fast enough.

Hi Morten,

Thank you for your response.

The problem occurs only when zooming, not panning.

My environment is a single machine where ArcGIS Server 10.7.1 is installed and the cache is stored locally in C: (SSD).

The ArcGIS Runtime .NET App is executed in the same machine so there is no network lag.

Also, the ArcGIS Server WMTS Service that I'm testing in the aplication is not experiencing any CPU o RAM overload when the aplication start to render very slow as the video attached shows.

In addintion, if I test the aplication in a 1920x1080 the performance is fine. As I make the screen bigger, the tiles begin to take time to render.

Any other customer of cause of use with large screen size (3840x2160)? Could this be the expected behavior working with this screen resolution?

Any other help would be appreciated.
